Depends.  This is something you should think about in terms of what you have to disclose.  Rememeber, even if you fill one out, it doesn't replace any of buyer's due diligence.  Check out the Massachusetts form (at the top): MASSACHUSETTS ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®. SELLER'S STATEMENT OF PROPERTY CONDITION.

 

If you do fill one out, you must ensure you don't lie or embellish -- that could mean bad things for you.
